Kya dhoond rahe ho is duniya ki bheed mein,
Chand sitare ya apni khud ki jeet mein?
Dil ke andhere raaste pe kyun chalte ho,
Jahan na roshni, na sukoon milta ho?

Kya dhoond rahe ho in hawaon ke raaz mein,
Zameen pe bechaini, aasman ke paas mein?
Waqt ki lehron mein gumshuda khwaab hain,
Phir kyun samundar ki gehrayi mein sawaal hain?

Kya dhoond rahe ho in khamosh raaton mein,
Har aansu chhupa hai jo baaton mein?
Dil se poochho, jawab wahin milega,
Khud ki talash hi asli safar banega.

Kya dhoond rahe ho dooriyon ki baat mein,
Jahan haath milte hain, par dil door hain saath mein?
Jahan mohabbat ki zubaan khamosh hai,
Wahan ehsaason ka sach hi khoj hai.

Dhoond rahe ho toh dhoondo apne andar,
Wahan ek aaina hai, jo sach ka hai humsafar.
Jahan khud se mulaqat hogi,
Aur dhoondne ka maqsad khud ba-khud poora hoga..
